"I understand that some view tripe as an acquired taste, but the tripe taco at Santa Cecilia is the perfect entry-level offal taco. Santa Cecilia Restaurant, opened by Armando Salazar in 1995, is phenomenal for two reasons that go beyond the food: First, you can get there using public transportation (a blessing, because parking is tough in this area), and second, because it’s in Mariachi Plaza—an iconic fixture of the Boyle Heights neighborhood." - ByJavier Cabral, as told to Sam Stone
